To assign a value to a T variable in the data file, type:

n is a number between 1 and 200 (unless you have increased the number of T-variables).

The statement must start in column 1. Type ‘set’ in upper or lower case, and follow it with any number of spaces. If Quantum reads anything that it cannot interpret as a T variable, it terminates the run immediately.

This facility is available in all jobs with or without levels (trailer cards). You can use it as many times as you need throughout the data file to assign different values to the same T-variable, or to assign different values to a number of T-variables.
